**Intact Gift Giving Condition book**

A must-read for those seeking emotionally charged historical fiction set against the backdrop of the American Civil War." — Mary Anne Yarde, The Coffee Pot Book Club In the autumn of 1860, Levi Anderson is thirteen years old, invisible in his own family, and happiest alone by the creek with a borrowed book. A deeply considered and quietly powerful novel...leaves a lasting impression through restraint rather than declaration. When the war comes, it takes his brothers first. What it leaves behind is worse than what it takes.
